Absent!!

Hello my dear Blogger friends. I don't post often these days, but keep up with all your blogs and pinterest accounts. Blessings for a happy Thursday

Some of my favourite ways to decorate my living space.....

With gratitude to those people who have pinned these lovely pictures, thank you for your inspiration...

Fresh, Feminine, Floral - My kind of bathroom!

I want to update my bathroom, what can be more feminine than frills, toiletries, roses, soft pastels with a pop of bright pink or red? I absolutely love slipper baths, so luxurious and oldie worldie!! Cannot find frilled shower curtains across the pond here, but I see many on etsy in the USA. Have a wonderful weekend, and to those people in Wales, a happy St David's day!!

Something catches one's eye....

Occasionally, something unusual catches one's eye, and it is beautiful! I love these photographs. I believe they are from Magnolia Pearl Clothing....

My Christmas Present

I received the book 'Vintage by Nina' for Christmas from my son and daughter-in-law. Eye candy for sure! I love the muted colours and the way it captured everything I love. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and wish you all the blessings for 2013!

18th Century Vicarage in Lincolnshire

I found these lovely pics in the magazine Period Living. I am a sucker for florals, especially roses. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Blessings, Jacqui

Lost and Found

My Son and his lovely wife were devastated when their gorgeous Ragdoll kitty went missing a month ago. A search was started with posters and answers to 'sightings' etc. As they live in London, and the Olympics were on it would have been traumatizing for any lost animal with all the bustle and noise. Anyway, exactly four weeks to the day, a kind lady handed Nea the kitty into the local vet, having found her in the bushes in Richmond Park. She is skinny and full of debris but sooooo happy to be home.

Poor Nea all scraggy!

Ballet Shoes and Roses

Things have been a little busy lately, with family illness etc. Just to let you know I am still alive and well in Blogland, here is a little tour of my bedroom

A laugh a day keeps the doctor away!!

There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

More on Bedrooms

I have been AWOL for a while due to illness in my family, but I am keeping an eye on all your beautiful blogs, and what inspiration they all are!! Meanwhile, I am still trying to think a re-do bedding wise in my bedroom. Here is yet another picture from Country Homes and Interiors. Also a few from the French Bedroom Company. mmmmm?

Staircases

You know how much I love staircases, as I have posted before about them. However, this one is so different, it had to be shared with you!! It is from the May edition of Country Living (UK). Love it!!

Have a lovely weekend!!

New Season, new ideas for my bedroom

As Spring is at last approaching, I am re-thinking my bedroom decor. It is very white at the moment. I am thinking more roses, pinks, and some blue to set it off. I have found some ideas.
mmmmmmmmm?
